Still wake up once a night to feed

I tried CIO (cry it out) and it helped eliminating the million times he used to wake up. But he still wakes up at around 4-5am and there’s nothing I can do except feeding him to make him fall back to sleep.

My little guy wakes up between 1-3 times a night. I’m so exhausted. I’ve cut out feeding him the last two nights to just giving him water so I’m seeing if after a few nights that helps, but help! And how did you do cry it out? How many minutes did you wait?

My little guy wakes up between 1-3 times a night. I’m so exhausted. I’ve cut out feeding him the last two nights to just giving him water so I’m seeing if after a few nights that helps, but help! And how did you do cry it out? How many minutes did you wait?

We did CIO (cry it out) when he’s 9 months. He cried no more than 30 mins each time.

i do it. my girl sleeps through the night unless she's teething and if she's teething she'll wake up 1-3 times a night and nursing her is the only way to get her back to sleep. i dont mind and i know it soothes her pain. i think im getting used to looking and feeling like a zombie

also, i will add i did CIO (cry it out) a few times for 30 minutes each and my DD (dear daughter) doesnt care. she continues to cry, so i'm not doing that. CIO (cry it out) isn't for everyone. i mean it works really really well for some, but dont feel bad if it doesnt work for you or you dont want to do it.

also, my baby goes to bed between 7:30-8 and takes a 2 hour nap at daycare and she still wakes up sometimes at night. i posted before its usually when she's teething.
